Rim Rock Trail is a wonderful trail for a hike with your pup. This popular trail winds through massive rock formations around the rim of a rock escarpment. You'll enjoy the beautiful views while your pup enjoys the exercise. Just keep Fido leashed on the trail.

The Garden of the Gods Recreation Area are 320 million years old and are made of sandstone. Pets must be on leash while visiting the Shawnee National Forest. The Observation Trail is a .25 mile long interpretive trail that allows you to encounter many unique rock formations, as well as the beautiful view of the Shawnee Hills. If you plan on spending more time in the area, there is great access to the River-to-River Trail from the Garden of the Gods Recreation Area.

The Tunnel Hill State Trail is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that is working to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors. Previously an unused railroad corridor, this "rail-trail" is now a great place to walk Fido in Harrisburg! The map below shows a parking area with convenient access to the Tunnel Hill State Trail. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has generously provided map data for this trail to Bring Fido for informational purposes only.

Dogs are welcome at Cave-in-Rock State Park, where a 55-foot-wide cave is the main attraction. You can bring your leashed pup with you to enjoy the natural beauty of this park. The cave is a stunning naturally occurring landmark to explore with Fido, but you can also stretch your legs on the trails that weave inland through the heavily wooded area near the cave. Some of them are marked, some of them unmarked, but all are challenging and lead to stunning views. There are a number of picnic areas that overlook the water as well.
